I have no Canadian singles charts in my possession prior to 1957.So for the years 1954-56 US charts are primarily substituted for Canadian singles charts to assist in my compilation of the Top 5000 of all-time. This year-end list here is primarily compiled from US charts with some references made to songs from that year from the "CHUM CHART BOOK" by "Ron Hall".
